Strain control with neutral-plane splitting is an essential technology in designing foldable displays. We established a method for analyzing continuous changes in cross-sectional strain distribution throughout the folding process. Digital image correlation (DIC) method with an optical microscope successfully revealed that the neutral-plane position changes with the folding radius.
